RHEA'S P.O.V





I woke up feeling different and when I looked around, I noticed that I was not in my room.





'What am I doing here and how did I get here?" I wondered, looking around my surroundings, and I noticed I was in a hospital room. But what was I doing here? I hated the smell of the disinfectant, and it made my stomach crunch in distaste.





'You got electrocuted and our mate brought us here," a voice said, and I snapped my head, looking around the room to see who said that.




'Who's there?" I asked, looking around frantically.




"I am in your head. I am Alexia your wolf," the voice said again sweetly.




I groaned, I'm definitely losing it, I am hearing voices in my head. Oh no! Did I hit my head somewhere? All these were running through my head, giving me a headache.




'No, you are fine. Nothing's wrong with you, I'm your wolf Rhea."




'I'm not crazy! I'm not crazy! I'm not crazy!." I chanted like a mantra. And I felt like someone rolled their eyes in my head.




I pulled out all the medical stuff connected to my hand, going down on my feet to leave before anyone came back and meet me here.




I walked past a mirror and I saw my appearance in the mirror. I walked back to look at my face, and I was back to my original self and I screamed in my head, this is very bad.




I began leaving the room so that I could leave the pack. Axel finding me was the last thing I wanted. Immediately, as I opened the door, Axel's face came in view and I slammed the door back.




Oh no. I ran to the window, but I discovered I was on the fifth floor and jumping down here would be the quickest way to die. I had no other option but to open the door and face Axel's wrath. At least he won't kill me, though he might torture me.




The door knob turned, and I stiffened at the side of my bed. Axel walked in looking at me and I avoided his eyes.




'Rhea," he called. I heard purring, but I was sure I was not the one that did it. But I felt very happy hearing this voice, though I didn't say anything while my head was still down.




"Rhea, why are you ignoring him? Can you see he's already broken, and he wants you to soothe him?" The voice asked scaring me again, and I jumped. Axel tried coming closer to me but I moved back frightened.




'I won't hurt you Rhea, you should know that," he said. I scoffed at him, rolling my eyes. Like he had forgotten, he chased me away not too long ago.




He looked away sadly, and I felt his pain, but I couldn't understand how.




'I know I have done some terrible things in the past, but I'm willing to make up for it and I will. Please forgive me," he pleaded.




"I don't need your apology. I want to leave here so you won't kill me like you promised," I said nonchalantly, though my heart was singing a different song. He looked at me sadly.




I turned my back to him and made to lie down, but I felt strong arms holding me behind my back and I stiffened. He turned me to face him, but I kept my gaze away from him.




"Rhea, look at me please." I ignored him as I fed my attention to the window.




He used his hand to pull my face to look at him, and I stared at his eyes. Pain and longing were written all over his eyes. I wasn't that annoyed, but I wanted to be more dramatic, to break him down more.




'Rhea, I know that saying I'm sorry won't cure the hurt and pain I inflicted on you, but I will make it up to you if only you will let me show you," he pleaded.




'I don't want to talk to you, let me be." He smiled.




'But at least I can hold you, right? Please?" He pleaded. I didn't say anything because if I said yes then he would feel I had forgiven him, but saying no would push him away, and I longed to hold him too. So staying silent would give him the opportunity to do whatever he wants.




He came closer and held me, Alexia purred.




'I'm happy that I have finally found you. I was so lost and confused after I chased you away. I couldn't forgive myself and I punished myself to be able to soothe the pain and hurt you felt when I chased you away.




'I had sleepless nights and lonely days without you. Lying at my side with yours untouched, longing for you, it was painful.




'And when you were shot twice, I felt the pain more than you because I knew it was my fault."




'Hearing you hated me because of what I did, that was the sharpest and largest spear to my heart."




'Damian and Derek made it worse by pointing out my flaws. Derek had stopped talking to me then, he only agreed to follow Damian to help him find you, but you slipped from his hands that day, and I was frustrated."




I listened to his words with my eyes tearing up, I held his shirt, remembering all I had to go through just because of him. I tried to pull back as the anger began surging into my chest again. He held me tightly to his chest."




' Rhea, please don't pull off, I'm really sorry. Just let me show you I'm really sorry."




He pulled me back, looking into my face, smiling, and I looked away.




'I love you so much Rhea, more than you can imagine." I looked at him as he was just saying it.




'Yes I do, and I will show you that I do. You are my mate and my world." My head snapped at him.

Mate??
